Parameters in Geometric Tolerances

[dr_gallup]

I have a family table part that I want to be able to vary a geometric tolerance. I created a real number parameter and added it to the family table. I can't seem to input the parameter into the tolerance value field for the geometric tolerance. Any ideas?

Not sure which version you use but in WF3 & WF4 ageometric tolerance value can be added to the family table by selectingOTHER from the item list and typing in the parameter name. Switch dimensions will show the parameter name and has the form g# (# is a number) similar to a dimension name.

Thanks, that almost worked (WF2 BTW). However, the generic value has a different number of decimal places than the instance for the GTOL. Pro/E is rounding the value in the instance to the same number as the generic in the drawing (the numbers are different in the family table).

I ended up making a parameter and creating a note with parameter embedded:

@[{0:
h}@]@[{1:&RUNOUT}@]@[{2:A-B}@]

I don't know why Pro/E rounds the GTOL but not the parameter.
